I'm sharing my friday favourites and first up is the S.W.E.E.T free printable tag!!! Not only am I going to print these babies out it also inspired me to make some of my own (I got a few ideas brewing in the ol' noggin!)

I have a very long wish list at Eco Diva Beauty and Ilia lipsticks are one of the goodies I want to try out. To be totally honest the only thing that's stopping me from ordering is the shipping costs. They ship worldwide which is awesome and I believe the shipping is around $20 to Croatia and my measly budget is just not having it......but one day!! :)

I did some masking with the flowers and leaf (the other two leaves I cut out). I added some colour using watercolours. I then heat embossed the peony with white embossing powder onto yellow cardstock so that this flower stood out and is the 'you' in the sentiment Beautiful you. I adhered the flower and one of the leaves with foam dots for some dimension.

I blogged my Friday favourites and one of the favourites was this pillow! I plan to paint a canvas for Mia's room....so I doodled a little something (below) to get some ideas of how I'll do it...I'll share the finished product...I just hope it'll look as good as it does in my head! :)

And I also blog spotted this beauty created by the talented Marion using our Doodle Flowers stamp set!

Hope all is well and you're enjoying the weekend so far! I'm helping my son study for a history test from hell! Worst thing is he's only in grade 5!!!

Anyways...popping in to share this CAS card I created using our Attached to you stamp set. I stamped the phone to cover the whole card. I then hand drew the speech bubble on yellow cardstock and cut it out and heat embossed the sentiment with some white embossing powder.

It's my turn over at the JD blog today and I used our Butterflies and Daffodils (for the sentiment) to create this card. I must confess that I had stamped and painted (with watercolors) these butterflies a while back so it didn't take me long to create this card. Whenever I loose my mojo I like to stamp images and colour them and have them ready.

I added a little glitter with glossy accents and I also adhered the butterflies with glossy accents too. I wanted some dimension, as if they were fluttering around so I added the glossy accents to the body of the butterfly leaving the wings free to shape.

I am donating all the money from this workshop to help the flood affected areas in Croatia and I will share on the blog and facebook the donation....not that I'm saying you guys think I wouldn't do it...just because! :)

Unless you are Croatian, Bosnian or Serbian or know someone who is you probably don't know about the devastation these countries are going through. It's heartbreaking to watch. Is it making headlines around the world? Probably not...it's only the Balkans.....you are foolish if you think this doesn't affect you. I ask you just be aware and help out in any way you can....if nothing else please pray!

I'm excited to announce that I will be holding a workshop this Saturday and one of the projects we'll be doing is shaker cards! We will also be heat embossing, stamping, using watercolors and making embellishments using die cuts (for all those who don't know Croatian and are curious! :) ).

Happy Friday!! I don't know about you but we here in Zagreb are having the worst weather!!! The wind is mental!! And then the rain.....it's Mia's First Communion on Sunday and really hope the weather will get better!!

Anyhow....I'm sharing some of my favourites today. I'm really ready for warm weather and all things Spring/Summer! I've started working in my garden (love working in the garden...so relaxing for me!) and I think my favourites are a reflection

How cute is this little succulent garden in a jar!!!! and have I mentioned already my love for yellow in the home lately! :)

I'm quite busy...my daughter Mia is having her First Communion this Sunday and we're having family over so I have lots of preparations and cleaning to do (so I'm taking a bit of a break from Jane's Doodles)....yesterday I made tuna sandwiches for me and my husband and I thought I'd share this recipe. I didn't come up with it on my own but I can't remember where I found it (on line some where). It caught my eye because with only one can of tuna (they're pretty expensive right?) you can feed a crowd. And also I never heard of using fennel in a tuna sandwich!!

So you'll need:

tuna

mayo

onions (I used spring onions)

salt

pepper

fennel

Fennel is what makes one can of tuna go a long way!! So grate the fennel and really squeeze the liquid out. Chop the onions, salt and pepper to taste, add some mayo (I don't like too much...just enough so it holds all the ingredients together). I also threw in some hemp seeds and added some lettuce when I assembled the sandwiches. So you can add as much, onion, mayo etc. as you like/prefer but let me tell you it's sooooo good and easy!

It's been very stressful the past 2 weeks...it's hard to watch family dealing with sickness...I haven't been able to concentrate on much lately...doing a lot of praying. If you are the praying type I ask for your prayers.

TGIF!! Can I get an Amen!

And can you believe I'm posting my Friday favourites...on a Friday! :)

As soon as I saw this pin I knew it was something I was going to try!! Later today I'm going to go and buy some clay and give it a go this weekend! I have worked with Fimo but never this air drying clay...my first attempt was this bunny and it turned out pretty cute! :)

I'm sorry that I'm so brief but it's been a very stressful past two weeks or so please if this hop doesn't go smoothy it all me! I'll be back tomorrow and share a bit of what's been going on and the changes that have been made! :)
